Stryker is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, and they have the reputation on campus of great internship experiences. Stryker has a good relationship with University of Michigan and continuously chooses to recruit here. They also regularly come to our career fairs and interview on campus! I like this position because it appeals to a wide range of our students in accounting and finance and has 6 different locations to choose from. I found it based on a search within Handshake utilizing the job function and industry filters. Job function filters would be set to 'accounting' and 'finance', Industry filters would be set to 'medical devices'.

I found this opportunity by utilizing the filter options to search for postings that are in the state of Michigan that involve finance. I like this particular posting because I have always been interested in cars and the automobile industry. Lear happens to be a tier 1 automotive supplier, and I believe that building an understanding of the world of corporate finance within the context of a key player in the automotive industry would be very gratifying.

If you're interested in nutrition, writing, and health, this may be the internship for you! The Functional Food Center is looking for seasonal part-time interns to write, research, and edit work for the journal of Functional Foods in Health and Disease. This position is remote, 15-20 hours per week, and offers potential academic credit. I found this job posting using the "internship" and "part-time" filters. I then used the keyword "nutrition" to find positions specifically in that field. Overall, if scientific research, writing, editing/publishing, and the health sciences interest you, this internship would be a great way to gain experience in those areas.
